From the City of Apopka
The City of Apopka Parks and Recreation Department is proud to announce the groundbreaking ceremony for Apopka’s skate park and pump track park on Friday, January 10th, at 4 p.m. The ceremony will be held at the site of the new park, located just north of the Fran Carlton Center. Parking for the ceremony will be at the Fran Carlton Center, 11 N Forest Avenue, Apopka, FL 32703.
The new $500,000 Apopka Action Sports Park is an Apopka Community Redevelopment Agency project using tax increment fund (TIF) revenue from the City of Apopka and Orange County Government. The park will include a skate park area for skateboarders and skaters and a pump track area for BMX bikers.
“The park will bring an exciting new amenity to the Apopka community for both the youth and adults to enjoy,” says Parks and Recreation Director Radley Williams. “Bringing a skate park to Apopka is an initiative that has been discussed over many years throughout the Apopka community, and the Parks and Recreation Department is excited to be able to bring this park to life with the funding assistance and support of the Apopka Community Redevelopment Agency, City of Apopka Council, and Orange County Government.”
The Parks and Recreation Department looked to the American Ramp Company to help design and construct this new, exciting park. The American Ramp Company has over 20 years of experience developing skate and bike park facilities nationwide and throughout 44 countries.
